An innovative way to enhance your browsing experience

Perplexity AI offers an innovative way to enhance your browsing experience. It provides a powerful AI-driven search tool in your browser. Designed to streamline information retrieval, this free Google Chrome extension helps users conduct searches easily.  

Perplexity AI features seamless integration with your browser’s search bar. It automatically opens your search pre-filled, showing results that are more precise and thorough than typical search engines. This is especially beneficial for users who need accurate, up-to-date information across various topics. The extension performs real-time web searches, pulling from diverse online sources, including academic databases, news outlets, Reddit, and YouTube.

Features advanced tools to make browsing easier  

What makes Perplexity AI particularly unique is its transparency and emphasis on source citations. For every answer it provides, the extension includes links to the sources, which allows users to verify the information and explore related content. It is an important differentiator from other AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, which may not always offer verifiable sources. Its ability to pull from a broader spectrum of resources also makes it more reliable for research-oriented queries. 

Another key feature is the flexibility it offers users. The extension allows you to easily switch between this extension and other popular search engines like Google or Bing, depending on your needs. This capability adds a significant layer of convenience. Whether you're looking for broader search results, more specialized content, or a particular search engine’s functionality, this feature ensures you have the versatility to tailor your browsing experience. 

Despite all its advanced features, this extension is completely free to use, making it an excellent tool for anyone looking to enhance their browsing and search experience without incurring extra costs. However, a potential downside is that its search results can sometimes be less refined compared to more established search engines, especially for niche or highly specific queries.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
